What You Need

To make vegan banana blueberry chia seed pudding, gather a few simple ingredients. You will need ripe bananas, fresh or frozen blueberries, and chia seeds. These form the base of your pudding.

For the milk, choose a plant-based option. Common choices are almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Pick whichever you like best! Each one adds a slightly different flavor and texture to your pudding.

Sweeteners are optional. If your bananas are really ripe, you might not need extra sweetness. If desired, you can add a bit of maple syrup or agave to taste. Just remember, a little goes a long way.

A splash of vanilla extract can enhance the flavors. While it’s not crucial, adding a pinch of salt can bring out the sweetness and balance the taste.

Make sure you have a blender or a fork for mashing the bananas. You’ll also need a container or bowl for mixing and storing the pudding while it sets.

Once you have everything ready, you’re all set to whip up a tasty treat!

Preparing The Ingredients

To make vegan banana blueberry chia seed pudding, start by gathering your ingredients. You will need ripe bananas, fresh blueberries, and chia seeds. Choose ripe bananas because they are sweeter and easier to mash. Fresh blueberries add a nice flavor and color.

Measure out your chia seeds. You will need a few tablespoons, depending on how thick you want the pudding. Chia seeds will absorb liquid and expand, so don’t worry if it looks too watery at first.

Get your choice of plant-based milk. Almond, soy, or coconut milk all work well. These will mix with the chia seeds to create a creamy texture.

Now, make sure you have sweeteners like maple syrup or agave if you prefer a sweeter pudding. It’s up to you!

Check your pantry for a bit of vanilla extract or cinnamon. These add a nice touch to the pudding and enhance the flavors of banana and blueberries.

Having all your ingredients ready makes the process smooth and easy. Enjoy the process of creating this delicious treat!

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy your vegan banana blueberry chia seed pudding for breakfast. Add a spoonful of almond butter on top and a handful of sliced almonds. This gives it a nice creamy and crunchy mix with every bite.
• For a snack, try adding fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or raspberries. The fresh fruit makes it even more refreshing. Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top for extra flavor.
• Turn your pudding into a dessert. Add a drizzle of maple syrup and some crushed dark chocolate. This makes it feel rich and special, perfect for ending a meal.
• You can also use it as a filling for parfaits. Layer it with granola and nuts in a glass. Each layer adds something different, making it interesting to eat.
• Pack it in a jar for an easy on-the-go meal. This way, you have a healthy treat ready wherever you are.

Storage Tips

• Keep your vegan banana blueberry chia seed pudding fresh by storing it in an airtight container. This helps prevent it from picking up any unwanted smells from your fridge.
• Place the pudding in the refrigerator. It can last for up to five days. Give it a quick stir before serving to mix the ingredients again.
• If you want to save some for later, you can freeze the pudding. Use a freezer-safe container and leave a little space for it to expand. When you’re ready to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
• If you notice any changes in color or smell, it’s probably best not to eat it. Always check before you dig in. Eating it fresh is always a safe bet.
